  • Café and shop; watersports, bike hire, fishing and woodland walks
Picked Pembrokeshire as your destination because of the scenery? You’ll be able to soak it up at all hours when staying at Llys-y-frân Lakeview Campsite – this family-friendly site is on the banks of Llys-y-frân Reservoir, with fabulous watery views (at their best at sunset, thanks to the site’s west-facing location). You may well want to spend a fair amount of time simply looking out over the lake while you’re here – perhaps from a table at the Lakeside Café, which serves up hot drinks and sweet treats as well as a lunchtime menu of hot food showcasing top-notch local produce. Alternatively, bring your fishing kit and settle in for a relaxed day trying to catch trout from the lakeshore or one of the electric boats. Got something more energetic in mind? You’ll be sorted too, as the terraced site slopes down to an activity centre where you can book kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding sessions or hire bikes to hit the lakeside path or mountain bike trails. For other land-based activities, have a go at archery or channel your inner Celt with some axe throwing. For the younger adventurers, there are off-road six-wheeler ‘Crazi Bugz’ vehicles to drive, a climbing wall and an adventure playground. For something slower-paced, try woodland walks from the site, or set out a feast at one of the picnic spots. Dogs are also catered for with an agility playground. Practical facilities include hot showers, toilets in the activity centre, chemical disposal point, a washing-up area, a gift shop and wifi in the visitor centre. The village of Rosebush (10 minutes’ drive) is home to a characterful pub offering a traditional Welsh experience.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Nice campsite with good shower and toilet block and lots of activities on site. Staff were also super friendly and helpful.

Disliked: It’s is slightly awkward not being able to park next to the pitch, but you are told about that in advance, so that’s ok. The only downside was our pitch was had lots of stones and bark - we cleared the big ones, and put a groundsheet down. It was difficult to place most of the pegs in the ground and bumpy to sleep on - not all pitches looked to be like that though

Great place to go as a family - will be back.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Friendly welcome from all the staff who were all very helpful throughout our stay. The pitches are a good size and we liked the raised edges as it gave some privacy and also protection from the weather. Great selection of on-site activities as well as play area for the kids. Loved the fact that the toilets were in the activity centre so warm and well maintained. The shop and cafe up at the visitor centre were also great. Didn't feel the need to go off site for anything.

Disliked: Weather. Unfortunately we had persistent rain overnight and our tent leaked so we had to leave early. We will definately be back though. (Once we have re proofed the tent) But the staff on site were incredibly helpful with changing our booked activities.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Gorgeous site, quiet, lots of activities, lovely facilities, clean warm showers and really helpful and friendly staff

Disliked: Absolutely nothing to dislike about this wonderful site. Only thing to make it better would be to provide a freezer so that anyone without electric hook up can refresh ice packs to keep cool boxes cold.

Local attractions

There’s a lot to do on site, for sure – but there’s also plenty to keep you busy when venturing out into your surroundings. The Pembrokeshire coast, for example, is less than half an hour’s drive away, for beach days in the likes of Broad Haven (half an hour’s drive), the ever-popular Tenby or its neighbour Saundersfoot (both 40 minutes). Pembrokeshire’s packed with historic places to visit too, including the lovely little city of St Davids (40 minutes), with its ancient cathedral and Bishops’ Palace. Carew Castle & Tidal Mill (35 minutes) is also worth a visit, to hear the tale of the castle’s 2000-year history and see the only restored tidal mill in Wales. If that’s not the kind of thing your kids are keen on, perhaps instead plan trips to the Pembrokeshire Llama Sanctuary (15 minutes), Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (half an hour) or the action-packed Heatherton World of Activities (35 minutes) for things like paintballing, ziplines and crazy golf.
